Summary:
When Greg's mouth acts before his brain and he tells his mom he's bringing someone on vacation to meet them, he has to think fast and figure out someone willing enough to actually go stay at his parents' in France and pretend to be involved. There is, of course, one person he wants to ask more than anything. However, wanting the scenario and then actually BEING in the scenario are two completely different things, and Greg soon realizes he is in way over his head. And quite possibly falling too hard, too fast, for someone who would never return those feelings...
You guys, this is so adorable. Lestrade's family is perfect, Greg and Mycroft are loveably oblivious and you just root for them to sort themselves out all the way through. So sweet
